Huge Collection of Rare GM Muscle Cars Found Stashed in Basement
Oldsmobiles, Pontiacs, Buicks are plentiful among this collector’s classic underground stash.
Have you ever had a dream of owning dozens of classic muscle cars that somehow you magically have space for? Well, this video by Auto Archaeology might be exactly what that would look life in real life.
According to the description of the video, many of these vehicles have been sitting in this basement for over 15 years and you can definitely tell by the condition of the paint on the cars. This area is supposedly an old furniture factory basement where the cars are stored. A space like this would probably cost you an easy couple million in California, but I’m sure a much more reasonable price could be found anywhere where else in the U.S. Due to the nature of work that was done previously in the basement, the area is temperature-controlled, thus, the humidity and moisture level were kept to an absolute minimum.
We will warn you now, the camera work in this video is borderline terrible, but we put up with it to see what was going on in that basement. The first car that gets a breakdown is a 1970’s GTO that was used as a race car as advertising for the dealership that ordered it. As it result, it was as bare bones as possible, but ordered with all the go-fast bits available from Pontiac at the time.
A 455 Hurst/Oldsmobile is the next on the list, a numbered limited-edition car that is even rarer due to the factory A/C. Next to that, A grey Buick Gran Sport Stage 1 that was built to “street race”. I’m sure that’s an interesting story in itself as the car supposedly made 494 WHP and over 600 WTQ. That’s a hell of a Gran Sport. With this, the list is just getting started. The next car is another GTO, however, this one is a 1968 convertible with a 4-speed. Supposedly, there is only 92 of these made total.
You might be wondering at this point, what the hell are all these cars doing down here anyway if they are all in undrivable condition? Well, according to the comments on the video, an unconfirmed source states that the cars are not owed by the individual in the video explaining them, but rather they are owned by his father. His father restores them for a living, only one or two cars at a time. It seems that his father must have a queue 15 years in advance then.
Regardless of the fact, all of these classic cars are also supposedly for sale as well, so if you want to see the full collection, feel free to watch the complete video. There are definitely some gems in that basement.
